Cully is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, where you turn right from the shore onto the Corniche, which is highly recommended for its fantastic views. For the Tour de Gourze, however, you leave the wide, well-paved Corniche in Riex (Rue Davel). This is also the steepest section of the entire ascent. Between Riex and the motorway subway, my system measured the steepest 500 m at 19.2％. After passing under the motorway (where it is almost flat for a short time), the gradients are still considerable but somewhat less steep. The sections with 14-15％ are a pleasure. The last kilometre to the Tour de Gourze then picks up again and >18％ is reached again. The last 150 metres or so to the tower itself are not asphalted. The view over Lake Geneva is fantastic! The road is mostly good, only a little bumpier in the vineyards behind Riex and on the last kilometre, but easy to ride on. In fact, you will still be overtaken by cars on the narrow roads, especially towards the tower, because there is a car park with a buvette at the top. But the traffic is not excessive. Highly recommended for climbers, not very easy.
Cully liegt auf Höhe des Genfersees, hier biegt man vom Ufer aus rechts ab auf die Corniche, die sehr empfehlenswert ist, wegen ihrer fantastischen Aussicht. Zur Tour de Gourze verlässt man die breite, gut asphaltierte Corniche aber in Riex (Rue Davel). Hier befindet sich auch direkt der steilste Abschnitt der gesamten Auffahrt. Zwischen Riex und der Unterquerung der Autobahn hat mein System die steilsten 500 m mit 19.2％ gemessen. Nachdem man die Autobahn unterquert (dort ist es kurzzeitig fast flach) sind die Steigungen immer noch beachtlich aber etwas geringer. Man freut sich über die Abschnitte mit 14-15％. Der letzte Kilometer zur Tour de Gourze zieht dann wieder an und es werden wieder >18％ erreicht. Die letzten ca. 150m zum Turm selbst sind nicht asphaltiert. Der Ausblick über den Genfersee ist fantastisch ! Die Straße ist überwiegend gut, nur in den Weinbergen hinter Riex und auf dem letzten Kilometer etwas holpriger aber problemlos zu befahren. Tatsächlich wird man auf den engen Sträßchen noch von Autos überholt, gerade zum Turm hin, weil es oben einen Parkplatz mit Buvette gibt. Der Verkehr ist aber nicht übermäßig. Für Kletterer sehr zu empfehlen, nicht ganz einfach.
